Online Databases

Several of the databases we offer can also be accessed outside of the library. Those databases available to you from home are indicated with a icon. Once you click on the link for the database you’re interested in viewing, all you will be asked for is your library card number.

Each year the library pays for a subscription to access scientific, medical, and social research, business resources, encyclopedias, almanacs, and telephone directories. Take a look at some of the databases available to you through the library:

TumbleBooks TumbleBookLibrary is an online collection of animated, talking picture books which teach young children the joys of reading in a format they’ll love. Text is highlighted while being narrated so students can folow along, often in different languages. Games and activities are also part of the e-reading fun.
